Coldwater man charged with delivering cocaine

Wednesday

COLDWATER — Christopher Sherman, 31, was charged with delivery of cocaine to an undercover informant April 13 by Coldwater Police.

Sherman was arrested on a warrant and is being held on a $50,000 bond with preliminary proceedings May 22 and 29 on the 20-year felony.

The Coldwater Drug Enforcement unit of the police department set up the buy using marked money. The informant recorded the transaction in a 2010 Silver Ford Fusion where .5 grams of cocaine was exchanged for $50. Police recovered the marked buy money from the Arrowhead Drive resident in Coldwater.

Area law enforcement reported more cocaine is coming into west Michigan with the shift from homemade meth to crystal meth produced in South American labs. Drug runners are bringing both drugs into the state from the same suppliers.
